bun

bun is a skill for Claude Code from xobotyi/cc-foundry. It costs 55 tokens per session (6,104 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A set of conventions for Bun, a JavaScript and TypeScript runtime that also includes tools for servers, files, tests, bundling, databases, and packages. It explains when to use Bun’s built-in APIs instead of Node.js-compatible alternatives.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building HTTP servers, reading files, running shell commands, writing tests, using SQLite, bundling code, configuring Bun, or managing packages.
Why use it?
It keeps Bun projects aligned with the runtime’s own tools and avoids unnecessary compatibility layers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

bun scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

When **reviewing** Bun, cite the violation and show the fix inline. Do not lecture.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 311 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bun's value is that the runtime, the toolchain, and the batteries are one binary. Two biases decide most calls:

  • Reach for what already ships. A dependency earns its place by doing what Bun.*, bun:*, and the bundled toolchain do not. Adding one that duplicates a built-in is a defect.
  • Write node: only where Bun has no native equivalent, or where the code must also run under Node. Portability is a requirement to state, not a habit to keep.

Release Version

Bun ships one stable line and no long-lived support branches, so bun upgrade moves a machine to whatever release is newest. Pin the version in CI (oven-sh/setup-bun, bun-version) so a developer machine and a runner agree, and state the release a feature needs in the sentence that uses it. Never write "the latest version supports X".

The rules below assume 1.3.0 or later unless a version anchor says otherwise. Floors for the features these rules reference:

  • 1.3.0 — Bun.sql for MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite; Bun.redis; Bun.secrets; Bun.YAML; catalogs; test.concurrent, test.serial, and --concurrent; --randomize; expectTypeOf
  • 1.3.2 — the isolated linker as the default for new monorepos; nativeDependencies; ignoreScripts
  • 1.3.3 — test(..., { retry })
  • 1.3.4 — jest.useFakeTimers(); URLPattern; --compile stops auto-loading tsconfig.json and package.json
  • 1.3.5 — Bun.Terminal; Bun.stringWidth; bun:bundle feature flags; trustedDependencies limited to npm sources
  • 1.3.6 — Bun.JSONC; Bun.Archive; Bun.build({ files }); metafile: true
  • 1.3.7 — Bun.JSON5; Bun.JSONL; Bun.wrapAnsi
  • 1.3.8 — Bun.markdown; --metafile-md
  • 1.3.9 — bun run --parallel; bytecode for ES modules
  • 1.3.10 — optimizeImports; standard TC39 decorators; --compile --target=browser for a single HTML file
  • 1.3.11 — Bun.cron(); Bun.sliceAnsi
  • 1.3.12 — Bun.WebView
  • 1.3.13 — bun test --parallel, --isolate, --shard, --changed; Range and conditional requests in Bun.serve
  • 1.3.14 — Bun.Image; the global virtual store; HTTP/3 in Bun.serve; HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 in fetch()
  • 1.4.0 — Node 26 compatibility; Bun.XML; Bun.isStandaloneExecutable; Bun.spawn({ cgroup }); directory routes; bun audit fix, bun dedupe, bun prune, bun pm diff, bun pm licenses; bun test --timings; --asset; lockfileVersion: 2

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

bun is a skill published in the GitHub repository xobotyi/cc-foundry (22 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 6,104 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (strips warnings and disclaimers, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
